So since my surgery I have been losing a pound or 2 everyday. Since my surgery I have been progressively struggling with getting Protein into my diet. I simply HATE protein shakes! In the last few days I am getting more tired and today I gained .02 lbs. do you think they are relAted?

It's funny because on days when I think I should cut back, if I eat Protein the next day I almost always lose.

I suggest you try making shakes with egg whites or other Protein instead of the Protein Powder. That might help make it more palatable.

I have found a good trick or so I think... I mix 2 scoops of Protein powder , chocolate or vanilla with a Premier Protein shake (vanilla) from costco with plenty of ice and top it off with Water put it all in a Blender Bottle to mix out any lumps and it is really really good and almost covers all 60 g of protein in one big drink

The premier Protein Shakes, on their own are too sweet and the powder on its own is just ugh but together it's a perfect blend

I'm Pre-Op and don't like them that much already. So, I tell myself it's a smoothie. I mix a little bit of frozen blueberries, a tablespoon of greek yogurt and sometimes (if you can tolerate it--depending on where you are with your recovery) fresh spinach. Put it all in the blender and it's a smoothie. You can't taste the spinach--it just makes it less protien shake--like.

@@Saramarie1023, not sure how far out you are but a stall here and there is nothing to really worry about.

@@crystaljeanine mentioned Premier Protein which is how I made it through life after surgery. I recommend it to everyone! My suggestion is to focus on Water before Protein, dehydration can affect so many things with the body.

First of all, no one should be weighing every day. Your body changes Water composition and daily weighing is not an accurate reflection of fat loss. Weigh once a week or less. It just makes you crazy.

Second, if you don't get your Protein in, you will lose muscle instead of fat. So you will lose weight but still have fat. Not good. Search this site for ways to get Protein in and focus on that and your Water. Protein is so important. Lots of alternatives for protein once you get out of the liquids stage.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
